Atomic Habits by James Clear

"If you can get 1% better each day for one year, you'll end up 37 times better by the time you're done."

This is a pretty remarkable observation. If you can improve by 1% every year, you will be 37x better by the end of the year. 1% is a doable amount—it is not overwhelming or too much—only 1% per day.

I read this book because I had seen people comment on it numerous times lately and was curious. It was good to see how much of it was based on science. This is not just a pie-in-the-sky book about changing made-up habits; it is a science-based analysis of how we form habits and how we can change them.

This book helps you understand habits and introduces you to the steps to break bad habits and establish good ones. By implementing the steps to make small changes to your habits, you could achieve a 1% improvement every day to end up 37x better over a year. This is the underlying premise of the book, which is that making minor changes to your habits can yield significant results.

This book is worth a read - it allows you to actually stop and think about all your habits and what you might want to change.
